In addition to crafting their own wines, they also supply grapes to various Oregon wineries.

Exceptional Grapes from Dundee Hills

The primary grape varieties grown here include Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Rosé of Pinot Noir. The handpicked grapes are transformed into a range of high-quality wines, including red, white, rosé, sparkling, and dessert wines.

Went here for wine tasting on a trip to The Vintages for my partner’s birthday and we had a great time. Beautiful scenery, wonderful wine, and great service. Also, dog friendly.

We had a great tasting experience! The wine was very good and everything was explained well, we never felt rushed or pressured to buy anything extra but we did bring a bottle home of our favorite wine we tasted yesterday! Great experience, thank you!

We had a fantastic experience this past weekend at Winter’s Hill Winery! From the scenic drive up to the warm hospitality, everything about our visit was memorable. The tasting was led by the owner himself, and it was such a treat to hear his insights and passion for winemaking firsthand. Tastings take place right in the production facility, so it's fun to feel like you are "behind the scenes". The wine is delicious - between the pinot gris, rose, and pinot noirs, there's something for everyone.

My wife, daughter, & daughter in law joined me on a visit to this beautiful place for a wine tasting. We were treated very well by the wonderful team at Winters Hill. Most importantly, the wine did not disappoint. The Pinot Noir Dundee Hills, the 21 Chardonnay, and the dessert wine stole the show. We did not leave empty handed and a case was shipped to the house! Worth every dollar!!

Cute spot with gorgeous views. Easy to book online with good hours. Has a very farmy feel. Our pourer was very friendly and has a long knowledge of the area. Sat outside, unsure if there’s indoor seating so come prepared. They have an awesome option for traveling with wine or just great for outdoors: a giant pouch, kinda like an adult capri sun with pour spout. If you’re looking for a place that feels like homey on the porch of a farm then this is the place! You could plan a whole day hopping to adjacent wineries easily.
